Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The UE receives symbols in a first time slot. The first time slot includes a control region and a data region. The UE attempts to detect, when the UE is configured to detect, a group common downlink control channel carried by the received symbols. The group common downlink control channel contains common information directed to a group of UEs including the UE. When the detection is successful, the UE determines, based on the common information, at least one of (a) a first slot configuration, (b) a puncture configuration, (c) a transmission burst duration, and (d) one or more sub-regions of the control region.
